[1] correctly observed that we are already wrapping three different operations under the git-checkout command. To lead that design -- and the Koan -- to the obvious conclusion, some additional work is required.
With this patch, you can say git checkout --reset foo # reset HEAD to foo git checkout --bisect start # begin a bisection git checkout --rebase master # rebase the current branch on master and so on for any git command. Note that this actually shadows the long form of the existing --merge option. But since all reasonable Git users are extremely lazy typers, they will just use the short form (-m) and this change is not expected to cause them any problems.
